About 10 years or so ago, I started a photography project documenting the remaining Lime Kilns in Wisconsin and nearby states. I had the good fortune of meeting Joel Valle who is the unofficial historian of what was then the Western Lime Company. I also had a chance to meet with his grandfather, who had amassed a huge collection of documents and memoirs on Lime operations in Wisconsin and Nasbro in Dodge County Wisconsin in particular. It was a coincidence that I recently came upon this facebook group only a few weeks after I decided to finally getting this project in print and for eventual display in appropriate venues. More to say on that later. For now, I am glad to share this group, dedicated to what was once, and still is a vibrant industry in the State of Wisconsin, with a very fascinating history.
